HBO fared well with noms for rookie Silicon Valley and Veep on the comedy side and Game Of Thrones and True Detective on the drama side. Both of that series’ stars, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrleson, received nods in the actor category, as did Mad Men‘s Jon Hamm. The AMC show is back in the drama race with Breaking Bad and Downton Abbey rounding out the category.

Orphan Black no emmys again the show needs to be on a channel where the voters i guest watch it.

I really think actors/actresses should not be nominated over and over again except if they break new ground for their character. Case in point Parsons. He isn’t doing anything new. The Emmy voters already gave him an award for his acting in that part. It’s not necessary for them to continue to nominate him because he is good at the role.
So agree Ben with Tatiana Maslany. I’d add Julianna Margulies to that list of who should not have been nominated either. Although The Good Wife show should have been nominated.

Couldn’t disagree more. If these are the best of the nominee candidates being submitted, then they’re the ones who should continue to be nominated.

Love that Margo Martindale was again nominated for Best Guest Actress in a Drama Series when she hardly appeared in this season of The Americans!

Scandal was awful in season 3 and so was Kerry Washington, the only reason she gets a nomination is because she is black and there are not enough black actresses on TV in leading dramatic roles. This will change next year as Octavia Spencer, Halle Berry, Viola Davis and Alfred Woodard will be in prominent roles and they are all 100 times better! People should not be nominated for a show’s popularity or because they are a nice person.

Ignorant comment for $200, Alex. Really, Maximilian? It’s just because she’s black? You don’t have to be a fan of the show or her acting but don’t reduce Kerry Washington’s nomination to the fact that she’s black. You should be better than that.

Overlooked again: the excellent writing and acting that make The Middle the best comedy series on TV. Can’t help thinking it has something to do with Patricia Heaton’s politics. I’m a lib, but I think that’s a damn shame.

Ah, finally, someone who appreciates good comedy writing, unlike all the other crappy, repetitious, tedious sitcoms (hello, BBT and MF) that receive more praise than they deserve from critics and audiences that thrive on mediocrity.

No nominations for Mariska Hargitay as Lead Actress in a Drama Seris. This was her best season on SVU

In the category of “What do I know” I have said for years there should be separate awards for “network TV” and “Cable TV”. Cable can go so much further with story lines than network is allowed to. Most of the really good dramas are always on cable ie AMC, TNT, USA, Lifetime, FX, HBO, Showtime etc etc. you get my point. Anyone out there agree?

Alex • on Jul 10, 2014 8:50 am

This is ridiculous. If Tatiana Maslany doesn’t deserve a nomination at the very least, nobody does. I bet none of those actresses could do what she does and as flawlessly as she does it.

Sara • on Jul 10, 2014 9:31 am

Hannibal didn’t even get any technical nominations?! It is perhaps one of the most beautifully shot shows ever! This is ridiculous. If it was on a cable network, it would be all over the nominations.

I see The Americans has been largely snubbed. The vastly overrated Downton Abbey could be booted in favor of that…or Justified…or Sons of Anarchy…

Taffygrrl • on Jul 10, 2014 9:51 am

All of the drama actresses are amazing and yet none of them comes close to what Tatiana Maslany is doing in Orphan Black. She plays six roles and makes them so distinct it is hard to remember they’re all one actress.

Only four noms in Cinematography for a drama? Sleepy Hollow should have been in there. The cinematography is the best thing about it.

This sad list proves they are laughably out of touch.

LANugget • on Jul 10, 2014 12:09 pm

It’s criminal the TV Academy thinks Downton was better than The Good Wife or The Americans. Or even Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men in acting categories. Just a shame. Good Wife had one of the strongest seasons of any show.

Whats the deal with The Big Bang Theory always getting so much praise? It is literally one of the worst things ever recorded in the history of humans recording things.
